Looks generally good. Couple of minor naming suggestions inline below.

This is a good addition.

The doxygen says the parameter is dev_name, while the prototype only uses
name. I'd prefer this to be "dev_name". [I nearly one if the function
itself should have an extra "_" and be "find_dev_args", as it's finding
the args for a particular device, rather than finding the "devargs" for the
bus itself.]
